Okay, now you must be thinking: "What is CR4ever doing? he's updating 2 stories at once!" okay, whatever. I know I like to only write a one story at a time but I figured this was just too good to be kept hidden from you. Here you go then, I hope you'll have at least as fun in reading this as you had in unstoppable OR, even better if you're a new reader, just have the time of your life with this and oh... just a little note which all of us authors like to add:
REVIEW PLEASE! (If you're new, you can review a story by clicking the blue button at the end of the story, it's completely free and will make all authors extremely happy if you do)
I have a pretty good feeling about this, Read on!
To be like you (prologue)
Ahh, a perfect autumn weather, a small breeze running through the already yellow leaves of the oaks and other trees. Only a few birds are chirping in the trees, just waiting to fly off to a warmer place or maybe stay here and endure the coldness of the winter months in America.
LA, California, It was a normal day in the Seville household... or at least it was normal for them...
In the kitchen, Eleanor was trying to teach Brittany how to cook with very little success. She was always complaining about how her paws would get dirty, nails would be broken or she'd have to lift something heavier than a lipstick tube so practically Eleanor was cooking alone, Brittany only watching... or.. maybe just staring at her perfect nails while she cooked.
In the living room, Jeanette was trying to focus on a book about rainforests when meanwhile Theodore was eagerly watching cartoons on the TV, careful not to disturb Jeanette by a too loud sound, but yet keeping the TV loud enough for him to hear all the splendid sound-effects of the animated cartoons.
Simon was also doing his daily thing, a research in the basement about something nobody else of the chipmunks knew about, not even Jeanette, the smartest chipette and the closest friend of Simon.
Everything seemed to be fine.. except...
"AAAALLLLVVIIIIIINNNNNNN!" echoed the furious voice of Dave Seville all around the house, possibly the entire neighborhood as he was chasing the oldest and the wildest chipmunk, Alvin, all around the house.
"Ugh, what has he done NOW" Brittany groaned in a bored matter, not even bothering to take her look off her pink-painted nails.
The answer didn't need to be waited too long until Alvin already raced through the kitchen, Dave right on his tail, literally.
"Alvin! get back here!" Dave shouted again as Alvin jumped out of his reach, in a cupboard that was briefly open. "Ohh, you're in a big trouble young man, I got you now!" He continued, stuffing his hand in the cupboard but soon screaming in pain and pulling it out, his hand bleeding just a tiny bit.
"Alvin! that's it! You bit me! you're SO grounded for a year, SO grounded!"
"Not until you catch me, big guy!" Alvin screamed, jumping out of the cupboard and on Dave's head, continuing the motion by jumping on the table where Brittany was on, grabbing her arms and holding her as his human... Chipmunk shield.
"Alvin! let go of me!" Brittany screamed, struggling to free from Alvin's tight grip.
"Alvin, let go of her" Dave also commanded, strictly as an army general.
"Uhh... ahh... " Alvin only said, looking around him and searching for a place to run but as he did, he lost focus and Brittany removed one arm from his grip, turned around and slapped him right on the left cheek, making him lose his grip on her other arm too.
At the same time Brittany was freed, Dave lunged forward, trying to reach for Alvin.
"Yikes!"
"Man.. what is all that racket upstairs!" Simon groaned and wiped his glasses with the edge of his small lab coat.
"AAAALLLVVIIIINNNN!"
"Yep, thanks for clearing Dave" He said and returned to his experiment, holding a small vial in his left paw and picking up another in his right one. "Careful now Simon..." he said to himself, holding his breath and tilting the other vial on top of the other, carefully letting only two drops of liquid drop from a vial to another and as soon as it did so, the potion changed color.
"Ahh, success!" he sighed in relief, placing the now unnecessary vial on the small table in front of him. "What I only need now is a one good drop of basic water..." he said, picking up a pipette filled with clear, distilled water. "Only one drop of this and..."
"SI! Help me out here!" Was heard the ear wrenching sound of Alvin, screaming on top of the staircase to the basement.
"Alvin, you know you can't come here during my research!" Simon shouted, furiously looking at Alvin's direction
"Yeah, I know but this time I have to make an exception, Aaarrgh!" Alvin screamed and nearly threw himself down the stairs as Dave appeared behind his back.
"Si, help me hide in here!" Alvin shouted again, looking for a place to hide in the massive basement, not to avail.
At the same time, Dave also had come down the stairs and was now chasing Alvin who was still desperately looking for something or somewhere to hide.
"Ugh, Alvin what did you even do now..." Simon groaned in annoyance of his interrupted project.
"He broke that little glass statue Aunt Jackie gave to me last Christmas!" Dave yelled, facing Simon this time and Alvin thought he got his chance to flee so he started running towards Simon, Dave turning his head to where Alvin had been a second ago but wasn't anymore.
"Alvin! get back here!" Dave shouted once again, scaring the guts out of him and making him run even faster to the stairs that led to the ground floor. He just had to pass Simon first.
"Breaking that was not my intention! Sorry Si!" Alvin rapidly shouted, closing up to Simon and hopping over his working desk, his tail slightly touching the vials on the table and knocking a few of them down and then making his way up the stairs, Dave following behind.
"I'm sorry Simon, I hope we didn't disturb you too much! AALLVVIIINNN!" *slam!* Dave shouted, slamming shut the door to the basement.
"Ugh..." Simon sighed, looking at the destruction Alvin had made on his table. At least he had been holding the two most precious vials for his experiment so Alvin hadn't knocked them down.
All the failed experiments, lying on the table with the ones which were just created as a base of an experiment, all mixed up, combining to a purple, steaming liquid all across the table.
"It's so going to take ages to clean this all up! Yeah, thanks a lot Alvin..." Simon said to himself, taking a small step to the left in the intention of grabbing the first broken vial to his paw but then his other foot made contact with something wet on the floor... friction-free.
Simon slipped big time, trying to hold on to his precious vials but failing as he decided to ease up the fall for himself instead of for the bottles, his paws releasing from the vials and making contact with the ground just before Simon's head would have hit it.
He turned around, waiting to see another 2 broken vials on the floor but fortunately for him, he had dropped them just the right time so they were wobbling on the edge of the table. Simon sighed in relief as he slowly stood up and looked at his intact vials. "Another weekend's work saved!" He cheered in his mind but then the same liquid that had made him fall the first time struck again, making him slip for a second time but this time he was able to hold his balance, waving his arms around like crazy and accidentally knocking down those two vials that had been the most important for him, letting the liquid that was inside mix with the ones already on the table.
"Uh-oh" Simon said as he regained his balance and right after that...
BOOM!
Okay, I just posted this to see if it gets some attention and reviews, if not, I will put it on hold and continue with freezing fire but if it gets enough reviews, I might write this as my main story as this is the AATC archive, not an OC archive to be exact so this would then become my main priority story, again, depending on the number of reviews.
This time I'm going to keep it short. It IS the prologue so it doesn't have to be as long for you guys but the other chaps will be longer. Anyway, what do you think happened to Simon? did he die?!
CR4ever, OUT! and remember to review this story and spread the word about it, let's make it a hit together! I would do the same to you guys...
